ROS 6, OpenSSL, and package updates?
No sooner do I read this evening that Fedora and others a re quickly working to get OpenSSL 1.0.1e out to fix the latest TLS bug that I log into my 516 to see what version it's running. Oh my, 1.0.1e....

That said I don't see anyone wanting to put some effort hacking a single NAS in an unknown network. If you use them in enterprise, they don't have access to internet, so danger comes only from insiders (yep I know most of critical attacks on an information system come from inside).
On top of that I read this : http://www.theverge.com/2014/4/11/56043 ... -after-all
So if you want to patch, do it, that's always a good idea to be fully patched. Otherwise I think you'll need to wait a month at least to get official patch unless it's been silently released under 6.1.7 security fix section. (6.1.7 has gone final today, so no RC6 to fix it and I don't think 6.2.0 will be released in april, I may be wrong though).
Did the 6.1.7 update before and I think its patched (I did not upgrade the packages myself so must have been the firmware).
